Development of economical beam-column connections for robust composite steel-concrete structural frames

拟议的建筑系统将为开发商、业主和住户提供一个更具竞争力和更强大的选择。拟议的建筑系统的成功发展将导致盲螺栓，钢圆形空心截面，钢通用梁和金属甲板的市场增加。拟议系统的另一个好处是，相对于现有系统，在低概率、高后果事件（如相关地区2500年一次的地震）或爆炸载荷下，预期性能会有所改善。这些独特和创新的结构解决方案将推动澳大利亚工程师在国际市场上的竞争优势。

The proposed construction systems will offer a competitive and more robust alternative for developers, building owners and occupants. The successful development of the proposed construction systems will lead to an increased market for blind bolts, steel circular hollow sections, steel Universal Beams and metal decking. An added benefit of the proposed systems is an anticipated improvement in performance, relative to existing systems, under low probability, high consequence events such as 2500-year return period level earthquakes (in the relevant region) or blast loading. These unique and innovative structural solutions should drive the competitive advantage of Australian engineers in international markets.
